Girls at the sign
New Zealand has lots of regional parks, all different, all well worth a visit. This one is quite remote, down a 'gravel' track (really medium sized boulders).
Tawharanui beach and island
It has white sand beaches, caves, good surfing in Anchor Bay and oyster catchers nesting at this time of year.
It's where the rolling green hills, all dotted with the lambs at this time of year, come right down to the white dunes.
Tawharaui cove view
There's a stunning contrast of colours, combined with the blue skies.
We strolled from cove to cove as the tide allowed, picnicked and then did the dune walk.
The dune walk
Similar to a meadow walk, only with the red flowering flax and hundreds of small yellow flowers growing from the dunes.
Flowering flax - the tuis love the nectar!
Views at the top of the dunes were worth the climb.
Made it to the top!
View from the top of the dunes!
Then back to the campsite for some more kayaking!!
